The International 13 is coming up soon. The groupstage starts on September 4 if I'm not mistaken. It's just sad as Filipino that usually, quite few Filipinos make it into The International Dota 2, but now there's only one Filipino who made it and that is Akashi (Eljohn Canonigo Andales) from Talon eSports. But that's still better than none. I just hope they don't get eliminated in the group stage.

It is one team to await for, Akashi seems to be a consistent player. Not as strong as the others but with his teammates, they really have the chemistry so good luck to them.

Its unpredictable who will win this year The International, but I think Gaimin Gladiators will win, just like in the Riyadh Masters 2024, if their player lineup doesn’t change. For me Quinn still the best player right now.

GG is a strong contender and even last year, they're thought to be the champs of TI2023 but then it didn't happened.

To be honest, Team Spirit is changing and becoming better when the tournament prizes that they're joining are quite that much.

They're a three-time TI winner hopefuls and some other players that are two-time hopefuls.

An update for the Dota 2 community and Valve's decision of removing sponsorships from Dota 2 teams for the upcoming TI2024. This is crucial for most teams because all of them have sponsorships CMIIW. And if this is going to be a permanent decision of Valve, I'm worried of what might be the impact of this in the long term for the dota 2 pro scene. Because these sponsors whether they are a casino or an exchange, they're giving valuable contribution to the breathe of these organizations that are also giving salaries to the players.

News: Valve forbids teams and players to have in-game ads in nicknames and banners at TI13

Well its only for TI13 though so its actually fine. I mean I'd rather have the players play only with their nickname rather than all nickname + all those added sponsorship on my screen

Anyway I guess TI13 is going to be officially the lowest TI prizepool ever since Valve decided to add fraction of their in game sale to the TI prizepool

currently sitting at around $2.3M. The lowest currently is TI3 with $2.874M. We are few days away from the opening games and actually I cant really imagine how this is going to surpass $2.8M

It's said that it's a loss as per the score shown 2-1. Undecided

After another look, it is a loss with OG going 4-0 at the start of Ancient. I was so glued on the BetBoom Dacha tournament that I forgot about the ongoing qualifiers.

After losing to Team Falcons, Fnatic kicked them out of the qualifiers.

Still going on with some CCT Series 3 match for Dota 2. I am not yet familiar with how Passion UA plays but I've watched some games of Hydra before so I am betting on them. And for the 2nd game that I have bet, I think that Avulus is strong but still going to bet for MOUZ.

Those are some good value bets, Mouz is still one of the solid tier two teams and Avulus is only slightly favored because of their good run from the PGL qualifiers.

There's also a wild midas bug plaguing the pubs and it was interesting to see the pro players adapt to the situation.

That crazy midas bug really plagued the game haha. The abusers really enjoyed it and I've seen a 5-man team did all of it in a pub game but obviously whoever is going to do that on a pro game will seriously get a tough punishment. Speaking Mouz and Avulus, the game is starting has started as of typing this.

Team Falcons won the first pistol round on both maps, but hopefully, they settled your bet as a win even though the providers made a mistake in the team name.

My 9Pandas bet didn't stand a chance with Eternal Fire's clean sweep. They got another chance in the lower bracket final against FURIA, but i'll go back to the over 2.5 maps assuming FURIA gained some momentum from their win against Aurora.

It would've been possible if Aurora got invited, but with no DPC, the direct invites got difficult and now it's only handed out to teams that made a top 2 finish.

True, there's no clear favorite for now, and in my view, more than half of the invited teams are on an even level when they can beat each other on a good day.

I've missed the finals bet for this FISSURE tournament and we're done with it, the finals was with Team Spirit and Team Falcons. And the result?
Team Falcons won against Team Spirit straight 3-0. Congratulations!

That lower bracket final might've helped Team Falcons warm up for the finals as I didn't expect them to beat Team Spirit and on top of that it's a 3-0 sweep. It nearly went to a fourth map if it weren't for Team Spirit losing a crucial team fight at the 39th minute mark of the third map.

Match with Tundra did really helped them to tune up. I always thought that Team Spirit won't allow something like this, a complete swept but it just happened so congrats to Team Falcons again. That was so close yet it ain't enough and Team Falcons still won it.

i'll tune in to a bit of CS2 for now as the group stage for the BetBoom Dacha tournament has a few interesting teams.

Oh yeah, that had reminded me about CS2. There are not that much good tournaments for dota 2 but I've seen one and bet on it but I'll also get to do some bets with CS2 later.

Hopefully this bet wins on map 1.

I'm risking the juicy odds on 9Pandas, I think their chances of winning are much higher when Eternal Fire could continue to underperform. I know Eternal Fire could start their dominant form here, but they don't seem like a convincing favorite that should be around 1.50.

I've got a 1-1 score on these matches but I've lost that better odd, it would be better for me if it's the opposite win but still, that's okay. We win some and lose some.

There was a delay that has happened for the decider matches due to the reported critical bugs and so FISSURE has to adjust and have to delay the match. I thought that something was wrong upon checking the schedules and right now, the matches are happening in an hour.

Skem and friends are actually good and I thought that they are the ones to take that spot. But I think that you know this, it seems that skem has a curse and always fall short during these qualifiers.

One or two matches away for the qualification or in the bracket and him and his team losses those important matches. He's actually a good and versatile player but as he olds, I think that he'll just end up a career only few major tournament championships.

I wasn't aware of skem's curse until you mentioned it, I mostly remember him through his better days with Boom Esports back when they dominated the SEA region throughout the season.

Actually, I was able to follow his career and I remember that it was like the peak he's got with the Boom esports. But sadly, that roster they've got for being successful there didn't pushed.

I think that Boom Esports isn't really a good organization at all. If they've just maintained that roster while they're on momentum, skem and that roster probably have dominated a lot of tournaments but they didn't.

One factor as well I guess is that he's an expensive player but time after time, that expensiveness for his fee or contracts for sure have dropped a lot already.

Nouns had gone through a lot in the play-in and I think that's a good capital for them in beating Betboom. While both Betboom and nouns were beaten by Tundra, this is an exciting match and all of that, BetBoom beat GG as well as my bet. Tongue

Aside from that Nouns got a map off Tundra, it might not mean much, but their odds felt close to a 50-50 knowing teams might not be playing at their full strength.

Yeah, that win means that there's a chance for them to win against BetBoom that totally defeated by Tundra. I think that they're all in full shape but still saving some of their strats for the TI.

All of these teams are going to participate there and with the newest patch, maybe some changes still can happen. I just can't believe that GG got an early out on this tourney.

Here are the odds of the upcoming match of Nouns and Betboom.
The safest way to bet is going with BetBoom all the way, we all know how the recent matches BetBoom is dominating, they only lost to Tundra Esports recently.

It only looks safe if we look at the odds, but i'm thinking BetBoom is far from safe when they've produced the same results as Nouns.

Even though BetBoom can easily sweep Nouns, it's still difficult to bet against them when they're performing this good recently.

It is a safe bet but we don't know what can happen and that's why I went for nouns. The possibility of nouns beating betboom is there. Also, I like the odds and I can't resist that. Tongue

With that, it could be an easy win for Betboom against Noun and the odds of a -1.5 Betboom map handicap are also tempting.

I got 1-1 on this bet. Gaimin Gladiators is out of the FISSURE, that map 3 was like a throw but to be honest, they've been outplayed.

BetBoom knew their priority on the third map and put a lot of pressure on Gaimin's Beastmaster and their map presence was all over the place with IO's relocate.

I commend them for studying well how GG can be pressured and they did it the right way. I guess that they're the darkhorse for this fissure and as well as on TI.

Quote from: ralle14 on August 22, 2024, 10:49:21 PM

I also like Nouns for the decider match, but the odds on the over 2.5 maps are too good compared to the map handicap at 1.58, this series should be competitive enough to go to a third map when both of these teams won against Gaimin Gladiators.

While we both admired BetBoom, just as you I went to go for nouns. They show consistency and with the odds for the match winner against BetBoom, I'd chose them. Good luck to our bets.

Today, I want to bet for the 2nd map of Team Falcons and Team Spirit but I guess that I'll spare that 4.50 odds for Team Spirit. I'd go on with the two matches left for today. These bets are conservative bets for me. Low odds but let's see if does make sense.

I got 1-1 on this bet. Gaimin Gladiators is out of the FISSURE, that map 3 was like a throw but to be honest, they've been outplayed.

We've got two decider matches later. So, here are my bets so let's do it while there's some hot updates today about the newest hero. Wink
